David N Robinson October 2019 - “From Running Businesses to Writing Thrillers”

Purple Horizons first talk was with David Robinson in Yelling Village Hall.

Over 50 guests attended and learnt more about David’s passion for writing and how difficult it is to get a book published. David is an Amazon best-selling author who has written 6 books and one short story. As he explained, to members of Purple Horizons, in a previous life he was a partner and chief operating officer in a global accounting firm and latterly held the same role in a global law firm. It took him 36 years and several million air miles to do, arguably what he should have done several years earlier: give up the day job and focus on a life long ambition to write thrillers.

Page-turners. Action and adventure stories with twists and turns right to the very last page. With few parts of the world that he hasn’t seen first-hand, he trys to use personal knowledge, connections and a professional interest in technology to craft fast-paced thrillers that are very much set in the real world. Locations that he knows personally. Present-day plotlines that try to be as credible and true to life as possible. Fictional backstories to events currently in the public eye.
